How to lose weight by Strength Training and Improve your health

          

Strength training helps you lose weight (and body fat) in diverse ways. It helps you maintain the muscle you have while eating a calorie deficit and losing weight. Also, strength training has a much greater level of excess post-exercise oxygen consumption than aerobic exercise.

There are different types of exercise anyone can engage himself for some reasons. One of these exercises is strength training which requires you to contract your muscles against resistance. It builds muscle mass and increases strength.

Resistance training increases muscle strength by making your muscles work against a weight or force.

A t times, strength training involves lifting weights to gain muscle over time.

Study has shown strength training to have multiple health benefits, especially when it comes to burning fat.

The dangerous fat that surrounds the organs in the belly is known as visceral fat.

In one research, strength training reduced visceral fat in many people (about 80) with metabolic syndrome. 

Study also showed that 12 weeks of strength training coupled with aerobic exercise was more effective at reducing body fat and belly fat than aerobic exercise alone.

Moreover, resistance training may help preserve fat-free mass, which can increase the number of calories your body burns at rest.

Research also reveal that about 11 weeks of resistance training could help increase calories burned at rest by 6.99% and may reduce fat weight by 1.79 kg .

Examples of strengthen training includes:

Resistance bands.

Lifting weight.

Use gym equipment for exercises.

Doing body-weight exercises.

Exercise with your own body weight.

 Varying your workouts can help you push past a training plateau.

Conclusion

Combination of strengthen training with aerobic exercise may increase rest energy expenses and decrease belly fat (lose weight).
